New Year Resolutions - made to be kept or to be broken?

So....what are your new years resolutions?

It seems that mine are either still to be carried out, or have been broken - I don't really make any real resolution, only think of the things that I'd like to do better, which is, eh, the same, right. But how do you guys do your new year resolution anyway, in your head? On paper? Reminders on your mobile?

Well, here is the more general part of resolution!

Eat more healthily
I've so far managed to buy more veggies, but have only eaten the brussel sprouts.

Sport regularly
mnn...promise I'll go tonight!

Read better books
well, in the course of one week I've finished one Mary Higgins Clark book and am working on the Riftwar Saga. The only thing improving is the quality of my dreams, litterally!

Be better friend/sister/daughter/wife
OK, actually I should really think on what I should do to make myself the above. What needs of my friends/sister&brother/parents/hubby that I can fulfil this year?
(note to self: let's work on that one!)

Not complain as much
weeeeeeeeellllll...at least I'm balancing it with this happy blog!

Not buy unnecessary gadgets
the problem is, glaring from the window display, they ALWAYS look necessary, and you can find out 101 reason why they're necessary, but come next year, you realise they're not that necessary after all!

Not maxing the credit on fashion items
As long as I stay in the limit, right? And it's discount time, and I'll only buy it when I really really want it, not only because it's cheap. (Girls, you know what I mean, right??)

Well, I think the first week of 2008 wasn't that bad!!

Sunshine and Rain

Good morning sunshine!!
>>what do you mean sunshine?? The sky is gray from dusk til dawn!

The days are getting longer though, spring is coming!
>>Spring is coming?? Winter just started officially for 2 weeks!
Well, at least it's not raining!
>>Not YET - you know how it drizzles constantly out there.

And it's not freezing cold either.
>>Tired of this gray weather, no snow in the winter, no heat in the summer!
Alright, these jeans still fits, december didn't do much harm!
>>Oh, don't you see the muffin effect there?? And this isn't even your skinny jeans!

Well, better get going to the gym again then.
>>Right, try convincing yourself to go when it's dark and rainy out there, you failed the last couple of months, what makes you think today is any different?
What about housecleaning then? That will burn some calories, and the clean house will make you happy!
>>Ehm, and where do you suggest to start? The bedroom? The pile of dirty laundry? or the clean ones on ironboard? The dirty dishes? Vacuuming? Scrub the bathtub? And the kitchen tiles?

Ugh...why did I even bother to drag myself out this morning??

And that's how I normally sabotage my own happiness!


There will always be two sides to everything, practicing which side to focus on is most difficult. Why is keeping the sunny side up so difficult? Maybe if I remind myself often enough
flipping to that side won't be such a struggle!
